The Self Wired Summary

The Self Wired: Technology and Subjectivity in Contemporary Narrative by Lisa Yaszek (Georgia Tech, USA)

First Published in 2002. Advanced technologies challenge conventional understandings of the human subject by transforming the body into a conduit between external forces and the internal psyche. This title discusses the intense controversy about how to best understand and represent human subjectivity in a technology-intensive era. Yaszek provides an overview by linking specific modes of identity and agency to engagement with specific manifestations of technology itself.
